Living in an apartment on campus, my suite mates and I enjoy cooking almost every day. In order for this to happen smoothly, the air circulation and filtration process is crucial. The exhaust hood containing a powerful fan above the stove removes many airborne byproducts of cooking, from grease particles to steam to odors to fumes. This way the air we are breathing as we cook is not saturated or contaminated by unsafe fragments which we cannot even see to a large extent. If this exhaust system was not in place, not only would cooking be less enjoyable, it would also be markedly more unhealthy by making the air in our kitchen/living room unsafe to breathe. This is a pervasive example of public health.
